Take Responsibility

( Many Years Ago. )

" Lady Yakujin, please don't act rashly. "

" You are now the Chimera Master of the land of Thunder, You must be more responsible towards the Clan and its laws. " Akafushi says to Yakujin, as she rampaged over the monsters from the place she came from.

Yakujin came from a Clan descended from an Ancient Kitsune who had been blessed by the child of the Divine, betrothed by a god of old, giving birth to his descendant. The Descendants which had the powers of Ancient Kitsune and the god of old, in the land far away from Easterion.

" Bah! Responsibility, Laws! " Yakujin says as she feasts on the monsters who dared to ravage the land.

" I hate that word, it's a word, used by the elders of this land, to bind those below them. "

" For Ages, these monsters had come and ravaged our lands, coming from whatever realm they're from. "

" Do you believe that I will sit still while that old Fox still wasting her time, fulfilling her pleasures as the people suffer from this threat? " Yakujin protests to Akafushi.

" The great elder is always like that, just because she's the wife of a god, doesn't mean she could turn a blind eye to this problem and just ignore this. "

" For Ages, she let it all fill her head, waiting for the 'Divine Husband' to return to her, not knowing when. "

" Foolish woman, to think she still holds a high place, un-dethroned for ages. "

" Because of her, she wasted everyone's time on 'tradition' thanks to her position, not only that, she also uses the people for her own profit. "

" Despite it was her duty to protect the people from the Gate's monsters, from savages like these! " Yakujin shouts in front of Akafushi as she raises her pressure.

" Lady Yakujin, please calm yourself. " Akafushi prepares herself as well as her subordinates*.

" If you raise your power more, Me and my Insects will have to punish you per the Elder's orders! " Akafushi says as she prepares her [Blood Scythe] to fight Yakujin who still rebels from her ultimatum.

" You dare give me that, you 'Bonded Spirit'!? "

" You know with my power, I could take control of your ownership from the Elder, do you know that? "

" With it, I could torture you and your subordinates as much as I like? " Yakujin says.

" No, Lady Yakujin... "

" Even with you taking ownership over our Souls, the power of your great-grandmother (The Clan's Elder) will still bind us to take care of your irresponsible behavior, no matter how far our position from our real master. " Akafushi tells her.

" Oh really? " Yakujin says as she hears it.

" So, you will punish me, to make me sworn responsibility to that Old Fox once more...? " Yakujin growls and asks as suddenly, a Gate* opens, a Gate so large as it engulfs them all from that very place.

"( Oh no, I forgot... )" Yakujin says as she remembers why Akafushi dared to do this.

"( That Old Fox's chants still bound her and those bugs' souls to the core, even after we all get lost in this foreign world. )"

"( Thanks to that stupid 'Gate'... )"

"( Why does it always appear at random? )" Yakujin gets pissed as she then was attacked by Akafushi and her subordinates, with that, Yakujin then tries to torture them using her power that dominates them, but they all still survive since Yakujin's hold over them isn't that powerful.

" If you're still held your responsibility and follow the ways of the Clan, the Great Elder might've given you full control over us... "

" But you chose to do things your own way, your reckless behavior had made you lose integrity so many times, filing your honor with nothing but disgrace. "

" And now, it is time to correct your irresponsible behavior! "

" For you to force yourself upon Shiro is an act that must be heavily punished! " 

" You disgraced your own virginity! " Akafushi states as she attacks Yakujin which the two fought in front of Shiro, who decides to run away and hide in a safe spot.

"( Gah, scary! )" Shiro shivers as he hears them fighting.

" Ouch! " Yakujin says as she feels the pain given by Akafushi.

" Damn Akafushi, she's still sharp as ever, darn! " Yakujin then tries to heal herself using the Sakura Trees to rejuvenate her.

[ Skill: 'Sakura's Blessing, Rejuvenation' ]

" Ah, the Sakura is blessing me as ever. " Yakujin says as her wounds heal.

" Hmm... "

" You may come out, Shiro. " Yakujin orders as Shiro comes out as he hides during the whole battle.

" Master...? " he still shivers as he sees blood around the Kitsune Chimera.

" It's alright, just approach me, dear. " Yakujin says as she offers her paw, to make Shiro come closer as he sees the whole ground filled with the red liquids.

" Hmm... " Shiro sees it with a traumatized look which Yakujin could see.

" This is not your first time, isn't it? "

" Does it scare you? usually, those who see it after their first should be braver than before..., but you... "

" Does the blood remind you of past pain? " Yakujin asks as Shiro looks at her and nods, approaching her paw which Yakujin pats him.

" *Whimpers* " 

" Now, now~, " Yakujin says as she puts her paw on Shiro's chin, raising it up to make him see her face.

" Let's put the blood aside, shall we? "

" Instead, look at your master's face, my dear cute~, " Yakujin says as Shiro slowly gets the mood back.

" Master...? " Shiro asks.

" Yes? "

" About earlier... "

" Does it mean, you...? " Shiro asks as he wonders if the Master really means it to him, the kiss.

"( Oh my... )" Yakujin says as she thinks more about it.

"( He's still wondering about my 'responsibility' over him, yes? )"

"( Based on what he says, then by the human law he told me, I just made him my 'mate'...? )" Yakujin says.

"( No, no, no, no! )"

"( I need to divert his thoughts somehow, I- )"

" Master Yakujin, do you really want to marry me? " Shiro innocently asks her and Yakujin slaps her face with her paw as she hears it.

" Oh my... "

" No, Shiro, I don't! "

" You're too young for me, I- "

" Perhaps we could make this settled! " Akafushi suddenly returns, appearing herself as she brings something with her.

" Akafushi, is that? " Yakujin asks as she seems to know the thing Akafushi just brought.

" This the item that will make this confusion clear, My Master. "

" With this, I believe it is time to check if you should be responsible for taking care of Shiro more responsibly than before. "

" Not as a sacrifice, but perhaps, more of a... "

" Husband. " Akafushi says which makes Yakujin gulped as she wants to use the item on her.

A Universal Interdimensional Portal Phenomenon that enables a being to pass through the realms. The Gates appear at random as this phenomenon is still a debatable issue as it was gradually used by monsters to travel and wreck upon other realms.

Yakujin's Clan:

Yakujin is a Kitsune Chimera Master who came from a Clan of Kitsune that exists in the other realm. Her Ancestor, the Great Elder (still alive in the flashback) gave birth to a child from her god husband. The Great Elder's children then descended many descendants and one of them is Yakujin.

The reason why she ends up in Easterion is because of the Gates that engulf her alongside her subordinates while she battles the monsters who dare to ravage the land within the world she came from.
